I am writing a plugin that uses gutter icons, and have found that if there is already a gutter icon on the selected line, then my gutter icon is not visible. Is there a way to ensure my icon is visible without removing the existing icon/region?

to clarify a bit, my plugin places gutter icons to denote breakpoints, and if I am using gitgutter, the gitgutter icons take priority over my breakpoint icons. i need my icons to take priority without being able to access the other plugin's icons.
